Podcasting can be a powerful marketing tool for website designers

But only if it’s done with intention.

In this episode I share what I’ve learned from nearly two years of podcasting. I cover strategy, production, audio quality, SEO and honestly, the expectations you should have.

Most importantly, I share where I learned what I could have done better, what I did wrong and where I’ve seen others stumble, too.

I talk about how to plan before you hit record.

I explore the stuff I underestimated like how much audio quality matters.

I explain why relying on Zoom hurts listener retention, how podcast SEO is a thing, and why downloads grow slowly (spoiler: that’s normal).

I’ll also show you how podcasting fits into a long term marketing strategy rather than a quick win.

If you’re a website designer thinking about starting a podcast – or wondering why yours hasn’t gained traction – what I’ve learned should help you reset your expectations and do it properly.
